Weather Err0rs.

Few erroneous notions are spread 80 read
lily and cling so tenaciously as those re-
specting the weather. In noticing common
errors of this kind, Prof essor Cleveland
Abbe, the distinguished met eorologist, urg-
es attention to these facts: That while the
moon might we'll be expected to influence
our weather. scientific evidence shows that
it does no.; that there is no sound reason
inr believing that suuspots have any appre-
ciable effect in producing storms, or other
local changes; that animal instinct ranks
greatly below human intelligence as guide
to future weather; that the indications
furnished by plants are due to the hydro
scopic condition of the air, as are also 9TH
er ''signs," and are less delicate and relia-
ole than the accurate instrumental tests of
meteorologists; that electricity and ozone
do not produce the effects ofies ascribed to
them; that thunder storms do not cool the
air, but the cool inrush results like the
storm, from the rise of hot air-at least in
many cases; that it has not yet been proven
that the removal of forest and the extension
of railroads and telegraphs have Influenced
our climate; that the weather is materially
the same as in old fashined times. scientific
records disproving the faulty recollections of
the oldest inhabitant; and that severe storms
are no more liable to occur at the date of
the equinoxes, or on certain days of the
week or month, than at other times.

Care of Breeding Sows.

When the SOW has been properly fed on
coarse and cooling foods, so that she is not
in feverish condition, she may be ex-
pected to do well uuless overfed after the
| pigs are born. This is often the case, and
| the effects are very injurious. Strong food
of anv kind should be avoided, as it tends
to ind ,me the blood, which is always, at
such time, in more or less feverish con-
ditlon. This fact is quite too often ever
looked, and the owner thinks he must
brace up his SOW with plenty of good food,
This is the very worst thing that he could
do, as it over stimulates the milk glands,
and thus iDflam the udders.
When the udders are ;nflamed they are
very sore, and the SOW will often refuse to
let the pigs suck, although she will lie
down frequently. In jumping up she is
sure to step on some of the pigs and either
kill them outright, or irjure them badly
Tue sow should DO in such q condition Of
health that she will not get up tor hours
after the pigs are bore, nor while they are
being born. This is the natural course, and
when SOW has the run of field and can
get all the grass she wants previous to the
time of farrowing, she will not leave her
nest for two or three days. Under such
eli icumstances she seldom loses pig, and
rarely has any trouble with her udders. 1t
is not the size of the udders = hich makes
the inf ami alton. but the condition of the
blood /; although when tho udders are
large, the flow of milk is usually ia propor-
tion, and the food should be reduced 10 a
little thin slop for few days. 1t should
be gradually increased for week or ten
days before full feed is given. An excess
of milk will canse the udders to become
hard, stop the flow, and dry up the secre-
tion. When a SOW has had this kind of
trouble once, she is untitled tor mother
and should be fattened.-America Agri-
culturist for March.

EFFECTS OF INBREEDING.-Tak flock
of common hens, of all colors, shapes, and
sizes, so as to conduct an experiment
Place with them a pure-bIed Plymouth
Rock cock, and the chicks will become uni
form and so near like Plymouth Rocks that
it will be difficult to distinguish them from
pure-bred. To continue the experiment,
the next season use a cock of the last sea-
sons production, with pullets of the same
blood. Thrt is, keep one of the half-bred
Plymouth Rocks and mate him with a few
of the half bred pullets. The result will
be that chicks hatched from the eggs laid
by the half-bred piIlets will revert TO their
grandams, and instead of being uniform,
lihe the cross from the pure Plymouth
Rock, will come of all ctlors, shapes, and
sizes (when langer). BY inbreeding the
uniformity is destroyed, because the parents
are ret pure-hred. Hence, always use q
pnre-bred male in the flock, no matter OF
What breed it may be. and your chicks will
be not only uniform, but superior to those
of the previous season. The same rule ap.
plies to the breeding of cattle, sheep aud to
all domestic animals .AmerscGn AgricuL-

WOMEN KNIGHTS.

From the Institution of the Legion
of Honor by the first Napoleon to
the year 1852 only five ladies re-
ceived the decoration, and they
were gil nuns. A change was made
in 1865. The Empress went to visit
Rosa Bonheur Of Fontainebleau,
and on her return sent her the cross
of the Order. 1t was thought that
this would be the commencement of
the recognition of the eminence of
women in secular departments of
life. But the tide turned into its
old channel, and the neyt decora-
tons were issued to nuns. The
Franco-Prussian War opened up a
new chapter in the annals OF the
Order. A female telegraph clerk
and cdntiniere were both decorat-
ed for acts of heroism performed at
great risk of life and resulting in
in important services to the French
Army. The recent war with China
has added two more to the list OF
decorated ladies, both of them nuns,
and both eminent for their services
to the wounded on the field of bat
